After all of the requests for our churro cupcake recipe, here it is! Our famous cupcakes from our WIN on the series premiere of the Food Network's "Cupcake Wars". On the show, we decorated the cupcake to match the theme of the episode, but you can adorn your cupcakes with our delicious mini churro recipe!

On my quest to turn as many of my favorite desserts into miniatures, I bring you the miniature counterpart of everyone's favorite amusement park treat... CHURROS!!! I can't think of anything better than being able to have amusement park style, warm, cinnamon sugary churros right at home, any time! This could be dangerous ;)

So, I bought a box of Nilla Wafers and have been using them to make some fun treats this season like my St. Patty's Day leprechaun hat and "Girl Scout" Cookie Pops... But, how could I resist making some adorable miniatures?! A stack of pancakes, a cheeseburger with fries, and an itty bitty layer cake all made with these simple little cookies. You can even use them as cupcake toppers!

Irish cream is used in many different types of shots and cocktails on St. Patricks Day, but I decided to use it to create a sweeter concoction. Irish Cream CHOCOALTE TRUFFLES! Rich, decadent, chocolaty goodness, with a kick of Irish booze... Now that, is a happy St. Patty's Day!

With St. Patty's Dy coming up, what is more perfect than mint+ chocolate?! I used my amazingly fudgy brownie recipe and topped them with some cool, creamy mint Oreo filling and finished them with a layer of rich chocolate ganache. They are seriously AMAZING!!

Yup, it's Girl Scout cookie season! Girl Scout cookies are everywhere and I can't help but buy a box (or 2 or 3) every time I pass by the girls selling outside the grocery store... because I too, was once a Girl Scout, giddy and excited to sell the most boxes for my troop (this was back where it was safe to go door to door). So with all this hard work selling cookies, what about some cookies for the girls? So I took some vanilla wafer cookies and created little Girl Scouts on a stick, aka "Girl Scout Cookie Pops"!

Today is the birthday of Dr. Seuss. He published 44 children's books including the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat. In his honor, I created some fun "Green Eggs and Ham" cupcake toppers and "Cat in the Hat" marshmallow pops that are simple to make and perfect for themed parties!

It's National Peanut Butter Lover's Day! One of my favorite combinations are peanut butter and marshmallow, so I had to make some fluffernutter cupcakes to celebrate. The fluffy, buttery vanilla cupcake, stuffed with marshmallow fluff, is the perfect base for this creamy peanut butter frosting. Like a dessert version of a fluffernutter sandwich, YUM!
